Story
Hello there friends!
We are excited to be making a difference and running for a cause that's close to our hearts through our Seas The Day September challenge. This challenge involves us getting into the ocean for a swim every day in September for both personal goal and well-being reasons, along with raising awareness of bigger environmental issues that we feel need attention.
Protecting our oceans along with their beautiful and vital wildlife is so important to us. Our ocean's ecosystem are under threat from plastic and chemical pollution, overfishing and rising ocean temperatures due to climate change. Our love for the ocean and our planet as a whole is driving us to protect them from more damage and ensure they are thriving for future generations to come. Because of this, we have created our fundraiser challenge to support the Australian Marine Conservation Society, an amazing not-for-profit national charity full of dedicated ocean experts, like scientists and researchers, who are doing integral work to protect our oceans ecosystems!
As part of this challenge, we also intend to #take3forthesea to physically do our part in discarding waste responsibly and reducing plastic in our oceans.
Katie: I am not a 'swimmer' so this challenge for me is to quite literally get my body into the saltwater each day of September, come rain, gale or shine. I will be donating $4 per day (the price of a regular coffee) from my own pocket. Who knows, I might take to the water like a dolphin & end up swimming laps of Coogee Bay with Jasmine by the end of the challenge! The only way to find out is to get in & get moving.
Jasmine: If you know me, you’ll be aware of the fact that I’ve never been the best swimmer, but my love for the ocean is vast and I don’t want that to limit me. That’s why as part of this challenge each day I will try to swim at least one lap across Coogee Bay (about 400m) with the hope that by the end of September I’ll be much stronger and able to do at least 4 laps! For each day I get, I will donate $2 and for every lap of the bay, I’ll add another $2!
We would appreciate any contribution, big or small that you can provide and would also love for you to get involved in our Seas The Day September Challenge if you feel called to!
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to my charity of choice.
Thank you so much for your support!
